Hi there,
Im a relative newbie. I installed BSD 3.2 with no problems from
the 4 volume CD set. I then decided Id like to look through the CD myself
and try to mount it, how......
I found the syntax (man mount etc)and wanted to mount it on /cdrom but was
unsure of 'special'. Anyway, grep`d FAQs and Handbook in vain for any
answers. In the end I ran /stand/sysinstall, changed to a different
console did a df and found what I was looking for /dev/wcd0c (I think).
wcd0c does not appear in my dmesg, where was I meant to find the info?
For a newbie should not getting a cd to work be relatively easy or at
least documented in the handbook or FAQs?
Thomas Cleghorn<---Not too pathetic sounding I hope.
